Since writing his last letter to Hudson respecting the propagation of the faith, dePombriay has met Father Damen to whom he gave a detailed account of the idea. Damen has known him since he was a boy and he has left everything in his hands, but is very grateful to Hudson for his interest. If Damen ever stops at Notre Dame, dePombriary wants Hudson and Damen to compare notes. He has sent a request to M. Janvier to get permission for Hudson to bless St. Benedict Medals and the only answer he has received is Medals and prayers, but dePombriay thinks perhaps that M. Janvier is waiting for the Archbishop of New Orleans to visit him before answering. He finds a difference in the prayers he sent and those in France. He has already distributed about a hundred of the St. Benedict medals and he gives Hudson the results, but he wishes that the circumstances not be published. On the 3rd anniversary of M. Dupont's death dePombriay met a friend to whom he gave a St. Benedict medal for his happy death. Before evening, while walking along, the pavement crumbled behind de Pombriay's friend but his friend was safe. A young lady visited dePombriay from California and dePombriay gave her to read M. Dupont's life and some prophecies. Last summer it was realized that these prophecies came true. After this young lady went to New Orleans he sent her a medal of St. Benedict, and on Easter Sunday she amazed everyone by making her first Communion, having taken instructions from the Jesuit college. He hopes that Hudson will see his father a catholic and tells him to pray to St. Benedict. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 4pp. crown 8vo
